Our community Relay for Life is back and will take place in the heart of World Golf Village this year (1 World Golf Village Place) at the Pond of Unity by the Hall of Fame. The relay is an American Cancer Society event, put on to raise money to end cancer. It celebrates those who are battling cancer, remembers loved ones lost, and takes action to finish the fight against this horrible disease. Come out and join the fight this Saturday, April 25th from noon to midnight!
